Foreword
This Technical Specification has been produced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal
TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an
identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows:

Version x.y.z

where:

x the first digit:

1 presented to TSG for information;

2 presented to TSG for approval;

3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control.

y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections,
updates, etc.

z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the standards allowed to implement layer 1 on the S1 interface.

The specification of transmission delay requirements and O&M requirements are not in the scope of the present
document.

In the following, 'layer 1' and 'physical layer' are assumed to be synonymous.

2 References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.

• References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.

• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.

• For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including
a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same
Release as the present document.

4 Introduction
The main functions of layer 1 are summarized in the following:

- Interface to physical medium;

- Frame delineation;

- Line clock extraction capability;

- Layer 1 alarms extraction and generation;

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.411 version 9.0.0 Release 9 6 ETSI TS 136 411 V9.0.0 (2010-02)

- Transmission quality control.

5 Layer 1 specifications
The support of any suitable layer 1 technique - like point-to-point or point-to-multipoint techniques - shall not be
prevented.

6 Interface to management plane

The description of the interface towards the management plane is out of scope of this document, but at least the
following O&M functions should be foreseen:

- Performance monitoring functions;

- Alarm status reporting functions;

- Synchronisation source management.
